Mark Nelson gave his reasons why he was passing the
blog he created over to the publications team of the National Association of
College Stores in this space yesterday. The publications team has helped Mark
in the past and looks forward to keeping this blog useful to its readers. But taking
over is quite a responsibility, especially considering the thousands of
visitors who have made it one of the top textbook blogs over the last four
years.
Cindy Ruckman, publications director; Michael von
Glahn, editor of The College Store
magazine; Dan Pender, news editor of Campus
Marketplace, the e-newsletter of NACS; and Dan Angelo, assistant editor,
will all post to the blog. Mark will continue to contribute as time allows and
the mood strikes.
Our focus will be on information and ideas to serve
our NACS members. Our hope is that those reports will continue to be of
interest to all readers of The CITE. We encourage you to participate with your
comments and suggestions, and look forward to your feedback and ideas that will
help us better serve your needs.
